﻿Aether Adept﻿ is a pretty good card for a mere common. Not only was it one of the better cards in Magic 2011 and Magic 2012 Limited, but it's a favorite in the Cube draft format. What it does it quite simple: when she enters play, you get to return any creature on the battlefield to its owner's hand. This is a great card to be able to play on turn 3, setting your opponent back a turn.

While the Adept is hardly an exciting card, it's incredibly functional. In Commander, the Adept fits into a wide variety of decks, from ones that care about having a bunch of Wizards on board (Azami, Lady of Scrolls) to those that can abuse enter the battlefield abilities (Brago, King Eternal). It also works well with popular Commander cards such as Patron Wizard and Riptide Laboratory.

While the foils of a lot of useful commons and uncommons tend to get out of control price wise, copies of foil Aether Adept can be had for about a dollar. They're probably a good investment, as this card will always have some demand going for it.
